Current Research

My research focuses on the impact of the work environment on employee work attitudes, mental health, physical health, and substance use off and on the job, as well as on the interrelationship between work and family life. I am currently working on a variety of topics and their interrelationships, such as employee substance use off and on the job; work stress, the impact of the Great Recession, organizational downsizing, and financial stress; work fatigue; work-related perseverative cognition (rumination); workplace discrimination; exposure to workplace psychological aggression, emotional labor at work, and work attitudes and productivity (attendance, job injuries, and job performance). This ongoing work results from two completed national surveys of U.S. workers.
